Hm, yeah! Mahmood is already starting to feel like a bit of a relic of the McSweeney era. If she ends up more on the fringes of Starmer’s premiership as he tries to keep MPs happy, I wonder how she reacts… HO has a good history of radicalising people, does she become like our Suella Braverman..?
Shocked that this messaging, which worked so well with the welfare bill, is failing to land.
"Labour came into government to do breakfast clubs, not to invade Iran. I came into office to invade Iran."
Excellent NYT video analysis finds that the bombing of scores of schoolchildren in Iran came amid other US strikes in the vicinity:

This is actually what I most wanted to highlight. I remember hearing a Labour MP argue that politics was ultimately just "a game of competitive storytelling", and then reflecting on just how disturbing the implications for democracy, accountability, and policymaking would be if that were wholly true
Embarrassing insight into the social media-fried psyche of a millennial 30-something here: but getting those emoji responses to an email you’ve sent on outlook delights my primitive little brain in a way that a written response saying ‘thanks’ or ‘good job’ simply can’t
I think a period of silence from paul ovenden is probably in order

my favourite bit of the movie was when he said 'IT'S WUTHERIN' TIME' and poured a gravy boat over Margot Robbie.
tbh in a much more defensive league this season - doesn't feel too bad
Labour's Renter's Reform Act is going to save me something like six grand when it comes in in May. Some good news amidst the gloom.

All swing voters agree with me about everything. Westminster is in denial about this.
Sorry? They already knew about this when they appointed him all of two months ago?!
mr mandelson we find you guilty of everything. your punishment is to have gordon brown hit you with staplers for eternity
Faster thn 56k dial up? I hardly think that's necessary.
I swear to god, I will go to Manchester to campaign myself.
The public have spoken, Starmer must bully Andy Burnham more.
If the MPs who signed the pro-WASPI letter to @patmcfaddenmp.bsky.social can't think of a better use for taxpayer money, they should not be in Parliament. The Ombudsman recommendation would spend £££ and satisfy noone. Should have taken a harder line 2 years ago.
